Match of PlyGem Mastic® Lakeshore Fern (Vinyl) *

Yes, if you choose a MyPerfectColor option that explicitly says Original Material Match. For PlyGem Mastic Lakeshore Fern (Vinyl), that is the right touch-up path because it includes a sheen match for factory-finished siding.

Use it for shipping scuffs, installation marks, field cuts, or service work on the original surface. If the damaged area is beside older installed siding, the existing finish may still read differently because of age, weathering, and surface wear.

The color reference is a starting point, but an installed surface can change over time. Sun exposure, moisture, chalking, sheen change, texture, and batch variation can all make older PlyGem Mastic Lakeshore Fern (Vinyl) siding read differently from the original factory color.

If the repair is beside an aged surface, the match may be close without being identical. When possible, compare against the existing part or a site-specific sample before ordering a final touch-up product.

For direct touch up on factory-finished building materials, choose a product that explicitly says Original Material Match. That is the only touch-up option in this collection that includes a sheen match for PlyGem Mastic Lakeshore Fern (Vinyl).

Other formats such as spray paint, paint pens, brush-in-cap bottles, interior/exterior housepaint, epoxy, and urethane can still be color-matched, but they are better suited to separate parts, accessories, or broader repainting where direct touch-up performance is not the goal.

A match of PlyGem Mastic Lakeshore Fern (Vinyl) is a building-material color reference that can be used to coordinate replacement boards, trim pieces, soffit, fascia, shutters, vents, or similar siding-related parts with the surrounding factory-finished material.

If you are painting a separate part, a MyPerfectColor match of Lakeshore Fern (Vinyl) in an appropriate format can be useful. If you are doing direct touch up on the original siding surface, use Original Material Match so the finish and sheen are part of the product choice.

Exterior exposure can change how PlyGem Mastic Lakeshore Fern (Vinyl) looks after installation. UV, weather, moisture, and chalking can alter the way the surface reads even when the original color reference is correct.

For older exposed siding, plan for the possibility that the repaired area will not look exactly like the surrounding surface. If the job is direct touch up, Original Material Match is still the correct choice because it includes the sheen match needed for factory-finished siding.

It depends. MyPerfectColor matches the color of the PlyGem Mastic Lakeshore Fern (Vinyl) but may not match the sheen. If you see Custom Sheen as a sheen option, this means we also match the sheen of the material, otherwise you would need to pick the closest sheen available. However, keep in mind that our version of the PlyGem Mastic Lakeshore Fern (Vinyl) is based on matching an official PlyGem Mastic color sample. The color and sheen of your specific PlyGem Mastic parts may vary. If your material is not new and has been exposed to the weather, then it is likely that the color has changed over time. MyPerfectColor samples not been exposed to sunlight and weather. If you need a touch up application, you may need to send us a part so we can create a touch up solution precisely matching the current color and sheen of your specific materials.
